List of trolleybus systems explained
This is a list of cities where trolleybuses operate, or operated in the past, as part of the public transport system. The original list has been divided to improve user-friendliness and to reduce article size. Separate lists—separate articles in Wikipedia—have been made for the following countries:
- Americas
- Europe (Note: countries not listed here are included in this article; see Contents table below)
This page also provides references that are applicable to all parts of the complete list.
Bold typeface for a location city indicates an existing trolleybus system, currently in operation (temporary suspensions not counted), or a new system currently under construction.
